In light of the new RAF program being launched, it makes sense Blizzard announced yesterday that Cataclysm is now included in the Battle Chest for only $19.99--this change makes it easier and cheaper for new players to catch up to their friends. For seasoned players, there's also a 33% off sale on Winged Guardian this week!

Talk Azeroth

We've got another episode of Talk Azeroth up with Olivia! This time, Olivia gets into the acronyms with a re-recorded (after the last one failed) version of Talk Azeroth 16. She's talking about the controversial match-ending debuff, The Crowd Chose You, and the upcoming changes to it, as well as touching on the Diminishing Returns system, answering your questions about patch 5.4.1, and whether Siege is going to be another Dragon Soul.

Recruit-A-Friend

Blizzard

It’s been a while since we’ve updated the Recruit-A-Friend program, but the time has come once again to close the doors for a bit and do a little remodeling. On Tuesday, October 15, we’ll be temporarily shutting down new Recruit-a-Friend sign-ups. Don’t worry though—the program will be back (and better than ever) before you know it.

While we don’t have an official date to share regarding the release of the updated Recruit-A-Friend (RAF) program, those whose accounts are already linked are not affected by this, and any unclaimed rewards will be redeemable once the program starts up again. You’ll also be happy to learn that the current reward will still be available when the Recruit-A-Friend program returns—in fact, players who participate in the upcoming program will have even more reward options available to them. We’ll have more details for you at a future point in time.

Battle Chest Includes Cataclysm

Blizzard

Deathwing has been unleashed! Beginning today, October 15, players are able to get the original World of Warcraft, The Burning Crusade, Wrath of the Lich King, and Cataclysm for only $19.99 as part of the newly upgraded World of Warcraft package (formerly known as the Battle Chest). In addition, all World of Warcraft subscribers now automatically have access to all of the content and features of these expansions at no additional cost.

With these changes, we’re making it easier than ever for new players to begin their epic adventures in Azeroth and join in on the fun.

The new retail edition of World of Warcraft will start hitting store shelves soon, but you can purchase the digital version now.

Winged Guardian Sale

Blizzard

For a limited time, the Winged Guardian mount can be claimed and added to your personal collection for 33% off the normal price. You’ll be the talk of Azeroth as you soar through the clouds with this fiery golden-maned lion—but don’t delay . . . this sale ends October 22, 2013.

The link for the Winged Guardian is for the EU server store. I looked on the NA store and it is still priced at the regular $25. Is this a region-specific sale? I'd hope not!

Seems that the mount is only on sale for EU. Clicking the link takes you to the EU site. Going to the US site shows the mount is still for $25.

What country does not allow RAF? I admit that this is the first time that I have heard of RAF being against the rules of some countries.

I hate that they always make some of the coolest mounts in-game RAF mounts, which aren't obtainable in all countries :/ It really sucks, because i was really looking forward to this Hyppogryph when i saw it on their Facebook page few weeks back :( So i feel with you - i'm also sad about i missed out the rocket and Heart of the Nightwing. I've bought my sister WoW for christmas, and i can't even Recruit her :S It sucks... *hugs*
